A few weeks ago Roman Reigns challenged The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship, and he defeated Miz to become Intercontinental Champion for the first time in his career. Reigns also became a Grand Slam Champion in the process, and he’s been putting the title on the line on Raw.
But Roman’s title defenses aren’t just exclusive to Raw, as he recently told GufiNews.com that he’ll be defending the title when he faces off against Triple H in Abu Dhabi on Friday.
“I’m super excited. Going against Triple H, I think that speaks for itself. I’m always down to defend my yard… It’s not just a regular match, it’s for my Intercontinental title. I’m looking forward to put it up on the line… that’s the type of champion I want to be.”
Triple H and Roman Reigns certainly aren’t strangers, as Roman challenged Triple H for the WWE Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 32, and in the end it was Roman who walked out with the belt.
Triple H commented on the fact that the IC Title match will be a WrestleMania rematch, and he said he’s looking forward to stepping into the ring with Roman on Friday.
“This is kind of a rematch from WrestleMania… and Roman is probably one of the most intense competitors in the WWE right now so I look forward to stepping in the ring with him. He calls himself the ‘Big Dog’, I call myself ‘The Game’… So, we’ll see,” Triple H said.
